Index Search Functions
To facilitate searching of desired scene, this Palmcorder automatically 
records index signals during recording, as explained in the following.
PhotoShot Index Signal
These signals are automatically recorded whenever still pictures are taken in 
PhotoShot Mode (l 25).
When recording still pictures using the Continuous PhotoShot Mode (l 25), 
the index signal is not recorded.
Scene Index Signal
Scene Index Signals are automatically recorded when you start recording 
after inserting a Cassette.
However, if the Palmcorder is switched from the VCR Mode to Camera Mode, 
or if the date and time is set before the start of recording, the index signal is 
not recorded.
≥If [SCENEINDEX] of [RECORDING SETUP] Sub-Menu on the 
[CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to [2HOUR], an index signal is 
recorded when Recording is restarted after a lapse of 2 hours or longer. If it 
is set to [DAY], an index signal is recorded when recording is restarted after 
the date has changed since the last recording. (While the index signal is 
recorded, the [INDEX] indication 
A flashes for a few seconds.)
ªPhotoShot Index Search
1
Set [VCR FUNCTIONS] >> [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] >> 
[SEARCH] >> [PHOTO].
2Press the [9] Button or the [:] Button on the Remote 
Controller.
≥With each press of the corresponding button, still pictures recorded in 
PhotoShot Mode are searched.
≥After pictures with sounds are played back for 4 seconds, the Palmcorder 
switches to the Still Playback Mode.
ªScene Index Search
1
Set [VCR FUNCTIONS] >> [PLAYBACK FUNCTIONS] >>

2Press the [9] Button or the [:] Button on the Remote 
Controller.
≥When the corresponding button is pressed once, the [S 1] Indication B 
appears, and searching of the subsequent scene marked with an index 
signal starts. Each time the button is pressed after the start of Scene Index 
Search, the indication changes from [S 2] to [S 9], and the beginning of the 
scene corresponding to the selected number will be searched. After 
reaching the desired scene, playback starts automatically.
≥Up to 9 scene numbers can be selected.
Top Scan
If the [9] Button or the [:] Button is pressed for more than 2 seconds, 
the Palmcorder will scan for scenes (or PhotoShots) and play back the first 
few seconds of each. (To cancel, press the [
1] Button 1 or the [∫] Button 
2.)
≥Index Search may not be possible at the beginning of tape.
≥Because PhotoShot Index Signals are not recorded on still pictures 
recorded in Continuous PhotoShot Mode, the PhotoShot Index Search 
Function cannot be used for these still pictures.
≥Scene Index Search may not function properly if the interval between 
2 scene index signals is shorter than 1 minute.
≥For the still pictures taken in the Continuous PhotoShot Mode or Digital Still 
Picture Mode, PhotoShot index signals are not recorded.
